THE DESERTED FARM.

Far up the slope of yonder eastern hill,
A lonely farm house fingers in decay:
Deserted, cheerless desolate, and gray,
The sport of winds that mock it at their vii.
The farm is barren; but the stony rill
That babbes through it, answered to the play
OF children once, who grew, and went away,
With recollections that are tender still
Now, in the New England Of the west,
Offspring Of this, have other bones upgrown;
Whence loving thoughts fly back to yonder crest,
Like birds of passage from kindlier zone;
In fond remembrance of the parent nest,
AS once it was, before the brood had flown.

THE SUNDAY LAW

Fer some time the large cities of the East
have been making extraordinary efforts rel
alive to the enforcement of the Sunday law.
Boston is represented as having been hard
at work for some time, and it is now claimed
that Sunday in that city is one of death-like
stiffness.
In New York the police regulations have
always been severe, but since the Inaugural
ton Of Mayer Hewitt orders have been is
sued to enforce the laws to the letter. I'm
der these ensctments 1t is misdemeaner 10
sell anything not necessity on the first day
of the week, and no labor is permitted. 1t
has been customary TO enforce this law in a
modified form. The hstels were permitted
to sell liquor, and the clubs alse, but such
saloons as did business were forced to do so
by way Of the back door. When Mayer
Hewitt came into office he announced that
the laws would all be enforced, and that If
any Of them were unsatisfactory the people
could repeal them. Acting under orders
from him the hotels, clubs, big restaurants
and high-toned saloons, as well as the cheap
stores have all been interdicted, and the last
three Sundays have been represented as the
most quiet and orderly ever. known in the
city Of New York.
While many people are disposed to grum.
BILE at the yigor displayed by Mr.. Hewitt,
some of them hold that the laws bear with
especial severity upon working men. 1t is
well 10 remember that, apart from the moral
aspects Of the case, no element in the com
munity have more to gain frsm rigid OBJ
servance of the day OF rest than the people
who toll with their hands. That is their
day. If it is to be given over they will be
the chief sufferers by it. There is differ
ence, however, in the ideas Of men as 10 the
proper observance Of the day. To make it
licentisus is to destroy it. Ts cucumber it
with tyrannical regulations and TO make II
q day on which the commonsst liberties are
surrendered, that moral despotism may be
enthroned, is also to destroy it. Somewhere
between the TIVE there shsuld be and there
is happy mean.
Az SWIM VI WV ioh6c SteiSo VI shs W OSs
Sunday has lost its character as day oil
rest Avarice and license have made II the
busiest day of the week to thousands
Under false idea Of enjoyment and Of lib
erty thousands of working people are kept
at their toll on that day as on any other, and
there has been ne adequate compensation
fer it in the matter Of wages. To that large
class which works by the week or the
month, week Of seven days brings no
more remuneration than a week Of six
days.
The time is evidently ceming when rea-
sonabe municipal regulation of Sunday
toll and amusement will not be regarded so
much as religious observance As it will be
looked upon as q rational methsd of pre-
tecting mankind from the avarice of money
makers and the degrading excuses which
bring misery rather than blessing to the hu-
man race. To the Sabbatarian Sunday may
be the sabbath, TO the devout it may be Q

Political Affairs.

Mr. Editor In casting an eye over Sur
county's political horizon we view the
downfall OF "party needs, as promulgated
by our csunty's State Central Committee,
which after going the rounds Of the county,
suddenly collapsed in the place Of its birth,
with no one to own its parentage or mourn
its sudden demise. Having read the confab
between jury and sheriff, and the farce made
of our local option law, We think 1t about
time we had repealed it, or send men TO An.
napelis who will know their duty and there
perform it, by allowing no stimulants what
ever to be ssld or given away. And the
Demccrat that comes out on that issue will
get the nomination, if his record is not
mixed up with mugwumpism, or this new
tangled reform. We see one of that order
spoken Of as delegate, who, a few years ago,
while sent as Democrat refused to caucus
with them. Therefore we want ne more Of
such men to represent or to ill our county
State or federal positions, for we believe to
the faithful adherents Of any cause belong
the perquiste. And the way our leaders
have acted under the Cleveland dynasty has
caused the workers in the ranks to become
unhopeful TO our party's future, for, accord
ing to inspiration, "a house divided against
itself must fall" DEMOCRAT.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1887-05-13

has been maintained by selfish and false
theory Of protection, which robs the many
to enrich a few. 1t has piled up in the ma
tional treasury surplus which menaces the
prosperity Of all classes and every industry.
We demand the immediate reduction Of this
war tariff not, merely as an act Of redress 10
the people promised by all parties, but as
the emily safe and just method Of reducing
the surplus; and in making such reduction
we demand further that the taxes shall first
be abolished or lowered upon the necessi-
ties Of life; and, finally, we re-assert the
constitutional and Democratic doctrine that
taxes should be levied exclusively for pub
lie purposes, and limited TO the require
ments Of the government economically ad-
ministered."
The sentiments expressed in the above
platform and speeches have the ring OF old
time Democracy, and as such we cordially
recommend them to our readers. They are
identical with the views ON civil.service that
have been taken by the SENTINEL since the
advent Of the present administration, and
are, we believe, the views Of four.fifths Of
the Democratic party Of the country. BY
all means let the Kentucky idea" be inccr
psrated in the next National Democratic
platform.

Admitting Their Wrongs.

Mr.. Editor 1T is very remarkable that,
throughout the discussions upon the subject
Of reform, those who most bitterly deneunce
the movement never get through with an
article upon the subject without admitting
the necessity Of reform in a greater or less
degree, and protesting their willingness for
ii and their readiness to cooperate in any
proper movement for it.
But the difficulty is that they leave US en-
tirely in the dark as TO what they regard
the proper means, and leave US to conjecture
what class of Democratic leaders they would
entrust with the work.
Particularly is this the case with the Bal
timore Sun, which, while it invsighs 50
strongly against the reform movement, vir-
tually admits all that has been charged by
the reformers. Now, sir, propose to you
and yeur readers this question. Is 1t not a
reasonable cancinsien and natural infer
ence from this 10 tia: they ;ssist upon it that
sll good Democrats must be content to leave
it entirely TO and depend altogether upon
the authors Of these abuses to correct them
Now, sir, have never yet been able to CEN.
prehend any reason why we should not, in
public affairs, employ the same means and
apply the same principles as 10 agencies and
officers as are employed and applied by pru.
dent business men in the management oil
their private affairs. What is invariably the
rule with them when their agents, employees
or servants prove incompetent, or dishonest
and treachereus Sir, they simply turn
them out and try others, and that is all that
has been proposed in this case; and moreover
it is none other than the Democratic party
that has been asked to do IL; it is not pre-.
posed To go outside the party to get others
because there is no necessity for It,
But some Of our good Democrats are stag
gsred because seme who have grown gray
in the service of the ring turn up now and
would become champions of reform. Well
new, there is nothing discouraging in that
because these old ring leaders are shrewd
and whenever they get on the ragged edge
they are very apt to discover the path that
leads TO the top. Respectfully,
THos. WATERS, OF 5.
